ABB 1SBL397001R1311 AF80-30-11-13 80A Three-Pole Contactor Technical Specifications and Industrial Applications

ABB 1SBL397001R1311 Product Overview

ABB 1SBL397001R1311 corresponds to the AF80-30-11-13 contactor designation. The
device is configured with three main normally open contacts and two pre-mounted
auxiliary contacts consisting of one normally open contact and one normally closed
contact. This arrangement allows the contactor to perform the primary switching
function while simultaneously providing auxiliary signals for control logic,
interlocking, status indication, or other circuit functions.

The AF80-30-11-13 is intended for three-phase electrical systems and can be used
for switching motors, non-inductive loads, and lightly inductive loads within the
applicable utilization categories. ABB documentation specifies a rated operational
current of 80 A for AC-3 operation at 380/400 V, while the AC-1 rating reaches
125 A at 690 V under the specified 40 °C ambient condition.

One of the defining characteristics of the ABB AF series is the electronic coil
interface. For this particular contactor, the control circuit accepts 100-250 V AC
at 50 or 60 Hz as well as 100-250 V DC. The wide control voltage range allows one
contactor configuration to accommodate several common industrial control voltage
conditions.

Electrical Ratings and Switching Capacity

The ABB 1SBL397001R1311 has a main circuit rated operational voltage of up to
1000 V according to the applicable IEC specification, while the auxiliary circuit
is rated at 690 V. The main circuit operates at 50/60 Hz. These ratings provide
important reference points for applications involving industrial motor starters,
power distribution assemblies, and electrical machinery.

In AC-1 utilization, the rated operational current is 125 A at 690 V and 40 °C.
The corresponding value is 100 A at 60 °C and 85 A at 70 °C. For AC-3 utilization,
the contactor is rated at 80 A at 380/400 V, 415 V, and 440 V at the specified
60 °C condition. At 500 V the AC-3 current rating is 65 A, while at 690 V it is
49 A and at 1000 V it is 25 A.

For motor applications, the AF80-30-11-13 provides an AC-3 operational power
rating of 37 kW at 380/400 V and 400 V. The specified motor power increases to
45 kW at 415 V, 440 V, 500 V, and 690 V under the applicable conditions. At
1000 V, the AC-3 power rating is 35 kW. The correct rating should always be
selected according to the actual motor characteristics and utilization category.

100-250 V AC/DC Control Voltage

The control interface of ABB 1SBL397001R1311 is designed around ABB AF electronic
coil technology. The control supply range is 100-250 V for both AC and DC operation.
For AC control, the specified frequency is 50/60 Hz. This broad range simplifies
control circuit design because a single contactor configuration can operate across
multiple control voltage conditions within the specified limits.

The electronic coil interface also helps the AF contactor accommodate variations
in control voltage. ABB describes AF technology as a solution for managing wide
control voltage variations and supporting consistent contactor operation in
industrial networks. Built-in surge protection is included in the contactor
configuration, providing an integrated approach to coil transient suppression.

Main and Auxiliary Contact Configuration

The main contact arrangement consists of three normally open contacts and zero
normally closed main contacts. When the contactor coil is energized, the three
main poles close to connect the controlled power circuit. When the coil is
de-energized, the main contacts return to their normal open condition.

Two auxiliary contacts are integrated into the AF80-30-11-13 configuration:
one normally open auxiliary contact and one normally closed auxiliary contact.
These contacts can be used within control circuits for electrical interlocking,
operating-state feedback, signaling, sequencing, and other control functions.
Additional compatible auxiliary contact blocks and accessories can also be used
where the system design requires expanded control functionality.

Technical Specifications

Industrial Motor Control Applications

ABB 1SBL397001R1311 is particularly suitable for industrial motor control systems
where the electrical load requires an AF80-class contactor. At 400 V AC, its AC-3
rating corresponds to a motor power of 37 kW. This makes the contactor applicable
to a range of three-phase motor circuits used in industrial machinery, pumps,
fans, compressors, conveyors, processing equipment, and other electrically driven
systems when the complete application remains within the specified ratings.

The contactor can also be applied to non-inductive and lightly inductive loads.
For these applications, the AC-1 rating is an important selection parameter.
The 125 A AC-1 rating at 690 V and 40 °C provides a different operating reference
from the 80 A AC-3 motor rating, illustrating why load category and operating
conditions must be considered when selecting a contactor.

The three-pole block construction makes the AF80-30-11-13 suitable for integration
into control cabinets and motor starter assemblies. Its integrated auxiliary
contacts provide additional control functionality without changing the primary
three-pole switching arrangement.

Mechanical Construction and Installation

The ABB 1SBL397001R1311 has a product width of 82 mm, a height of 125.5 mm, and
a depth of 116 mm. Its product net weight is approximately 1.21 kg. The contactor
uses screw terminals for electrical connections, providing a conventional connection
method for industrial control panel wiring.

The documented protection ratings include IP20 for the coil and auxiliary terminals
and IP10 for the main terminals. Installation should account for the surrounding
equipment, conductor routing, required clearances, thermal conditions, and the
applicable electrical installation standards.

The contactor is designed for an ambient operating range that depends on the
installation configuration. Without a thermal overload relay, the documented
ambient range is -40 to +70 °C. When fitted with a thermal overload relay, the
specified range is -25 to +60 °C. These conditions should be considered when
designing equipment around the contactor.

Standards and Protection Characteristics

The AF80-30-11-13 is associated with IEC and EN requirements including IEC/EN
60947-1 and IEC/EN 60947-4-1. Relevant UL and CSA standards are also specified
for applicable configurations. The rated impulse withstand voltage is 8 kV,
while the rated insulation voltage is 1000 V according to the applicable IEC
requirements and 600 V according to UL/CSA specifications.

Short-time withstand current characteristics are also defined for different
durations. At a 40 °C ambient temperature in free air from a cold state, the
documented values include 1200 A for one second, 780 A for ten seconds, 450 A
for thirty seconds, and 300 A for one minute. These values are reference
characteristics and should be evaluated together with the protection and
coordination design of the complete electrical installation.

AF Technology for Industrial Control Systems

A major advantage of the ABB AF contactor platform is its electronic coil
technology. Instead of requiring a separate contactor configuration for every
individual control voltage, the 1SBL397001R1311 accepts a broad 100-250 V AC/DC
control range. This characteristic can simplify equipment standardization in
control cabinets containing different control voltage requirements.

The built-in surge protection and compact block construction further support
integration into industrial electrical assemblies. Compatible accessories can
expand the functionality of the contactor for additional auxiliary signaling,
control, and interlocking requirements.

Product Identification

The complete ABB catalog number for this contactor is
1SBL397001R1311, while the corresponding type designation is
AF80-30-11-13. The two identifiers should be retained together
in technical documentation because different AF80 contactor configurations may
have different auxiliary contact arrangements, control voltage codes, or main
contact configurations.

ABB 1SBL397001R1311 can therefore be identified as an AF80-30-11-13 three-pole
contactor with three normally open main contacts, one normally open and one
normally closed auxiliary contact, and a 100-250 V AC/DC electronic control
interface. With an AC-3 rating of 80 A and a 37 kW rating at 400 V, it is
intended for substantial industrial power switching and motor control duties
where the specified electrical, mechanical, and environmental conditions are met.
